Study Abroad Application Process

If you’re a student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences or the College of Art and Design, you're eligible to study abroad if you have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.7 and are in good conduct standing. Students of all majors can study abroad.

What types of programs are available?

Our professors offer travel-study courses to allow you to visit the places you're studying about while earning academic credit. Courses can be used to fulfill major or general education requirements, or they can be applied as electives. Email studyabroad@lesley.edu for a list of current offerings.

With semester-long exchange programs, your Lesley grants and scholarships remain in place. Check out a list of our partner schools in Asia and Europe.

Our network of providers offers programs at many universities and field-based locations across the globe. Each provider offers multiple programs in a wide range of countries for full semesters, during the summer and shorter terms. Visit their websites to learn more:

Graduate Study Abroad

As a graduate student, you have the opportunity to build international study into your degree program. Depending on your program, you may choose to participate in a creative writing residency in Europe, fieldwork in a developing country, or design independent research outside the United States.

Summer Residency in Wales

As an MFA in Creative Writing student, you can expand your experience at the Dylan Thomas International Summer School in Wales, a 10-day residency offering workshops, lectures, and readings with internationally known writers, as well as visits to cultural sites in the Welsh countryside.

Internships Abroad

You can satisfy your internship requirement for the International Higher Education and Intercultural Relations master's program by participating in an overseas internship, where you’ll apply your skills in another culture.
